Chapter 92 - 88 Witnessing Cyber Psychosis: Turning a Deaf Ear (Part 2) (Seventh Update)

Judging from the location information, Cedric was heading full speed towards an unfinished construction site in Saint Domingo.

Clearly, the Biotechnology company wasn’t stupid. They chose to meet outside their corporate building.

This indicated that the fatalities from the Nightingale project were unexpected.

The company didn’t regard the lives of the lower class as valuable, but only when those lives were lost as predicted. Only then did it not matter.

If the deaths were unexpected, especially in human experimentation projects, it would send a bad signal to clients and the market.

They didn’t care about the lives of the lower class, but they cared about the market reaction.

In the car, the three of them checked their gear. V suddenly asked while holding the raccoon dog, "Why can we just use raccoon dogs now?"

"Mainly, it’s because we are now connected with two arms dealers. Cheson is connected to the company, and Roshan is connected to the smuggling Wanderers.

They will keep their mouths shut about this—although, whether they talk or not, someone will suspect that they got it from them.

Besides, I didn’t say you could use the raccoon dog to immediately kill the Biotechnology people when you first see them."

V reluctantly put the raccoon dog back in the trunk after hearing that. "I thought I could use this big baby again."

Lille didn’t speak, but it was likely that they would need to use that thing.

Some details in the game were a bit fuzzy to Lille, but he vaguely remembered that Cedric seemed to have cyber psychosis.

Cedric had already stopped by now—arriving at the meeting place.

Lille rubbed his temples—this could be troublesome.

Ding dong.

Lille’s communicator suddenly rang—the caller was Regina Jones.

Lille hesitated for a moment, then quickly answered.

Regina: "Hello, Burger King. I’m the fixer in this part of the Watson District. You might not come here often, but I’m contacting you because you dealt with a cyber psychosis incident on the street last time.

Besides normal commissions, I also release notices for handling cyber psychosis. I’m researching cyber psychosis.

If you can subdue someone with cyber psychosis, I’m willing to pay for it."

Lille thought it was too coincidental—he might just be dealing with someone having a cyber psychotic episode!

"That’s great. I might be tracking a potential cyber psychosis case. Can you handle it?"

The person on the other end hesitated.

Regina: "...I’m not sure, can you elaborate?"

Lille: "Biotechnology signed a cooperation agreement with a red ochre tribe. Someone died, and a guy infected with something got really angry and dragged the body to confront them. I suspect he might go crazy."

Regina: "If you’re certain he has cyber psychosis, try to disable him non-lethally—I didn’t expect our first cooperation would be proposed by you."

Regina: "You already have an outsourcing law enforcement contract with NCPD. I will have someone extend your license time, collect as much on-site data as possible, and I will handle the follow-up."

Lille: "Thanks, no need to pay for this one—though this might seem a bit unfair, but you wouldn’t charge me, right?"

Regina: "Of course, since you’re willing to work for free, why would I refuse? Good luck."

...

Bang.

The car door closed, and the Biotechnology soldiers got out, facing Cedric.

The leading one was his contact, Brandon Murphy.

"Don’t come any closer—where’s the body? We’ll handle it."

Murphy appeared cautious but also very arrogant, constantly gripping his gun.

Cedric suppressed his rage and pointed to the trunk.

"It’s in the back. Are you coming over, or...?"

"I’ll go." Murphy signaled to the two followers behind him, and the three walked towards the trunk together.

The trunk popped open with a click.

The body was wrapped in a black body bag, and Cedric watched with a sudden wave of sorrow.

Andri was his good brother. They had roamed the Evil Land together for almost 30 years.

Yes, they wanted to retire, so they eventually agreed to Hector’s cooperation scheme with Biotechnology.

But... not like this.

Murphy unzipped the body bag, revealing the corpse inside—

Just then, the sun came out.

Sunlight streamed through the decayed factory, through the early morning frost, illuminating Andri’s corpse.

Even in death, the cells’ instinctual response to electromagnetic radiation didn’t cease.

His body suddenly emitted a faint glow. Then visibly, like willow fluff consumed by fire, his skin began to burn and decompose, followed by muscles and nerves...

Murphy was stunned at this sight, instinctively jumping back and colliding with Cedric.

"Look—he’s right here, why aren’t you watching?"

Cedric’s low, husky voice made Murphy’s heart tremble. He turned around—and in his Prosthetic Eye, Cedric’s red Tactical Prosthetic Eye began to tremble violently!

That was a sign of information flow disorder, where physiological system chaos caused the prosthetic’s smart armor to generate massive data conflicts on the cyber network!

"Look!"

Cedric growled, lifting a murderous shotgun, and blew away a terrified soldier behind Murphy!

"Cyber psychosis! He’s gone mad!"

Another soldier immediately aimed his gun at Cedric and fired!

Cedric fiercely slammed Murphy’s head against the trunk and then pushed his leg muscles to the limit, charging towards the soldier, bullets hitting his prosthetics and torso. Ordinarily, when bullets hit the body, it would be paralyzed by intense pain.

The pain would bombard your brain. Numbness would seize your limbs, and blood loss would mean with each heartbeat, you’d feel like you’re being cut open.

But these pains were nothing compared to the excruciating agony in his nerves right now!

The pain somehow sharpened his prosthetics, which even started to overclock naturally!

He wasn’t afraid of bullets at all!

Bang!

Releasing the full power of his enhanced tendons, Cedric slammed into the Biotechnology soldier’s chest like a cannonball!

Even so, his hand didn’t forget to aim. With a bizarre angle, he positioned the shotgun under the soldier’s jaw—

Bang!

The soldier’s body flew sideways, while his head turned into a spray of blood and fragments.

Murphy’s head hit the car’s trunk, but the damage was minor since his skull had been reinforced.

Seeing Andri’s body disintegrate under the sunlight up close, however, put him into a panic.

It wasn’t until the second gunshot that he snapped back, raising his gun to aim—

Cedric paused, then chose to hurl his gun!

The killing shotgun was a heavy weapon. Thrown with Cedric’s full strength, it hit Murphy’s reinforced skull with a thud like a catapulted stone.

The reinforced skull could deflect bullets, but it couldn’t stop someone from smashing it with a hammer.

Murphy’s head buzzed with the impact.

Cedric then grabbed Murphy’s gun from his hand, locking him in a grapple, pinning him against the car.

"Ah... fuck you, let me go... ah!"

Crack.

Cedric snapped Murphy’s arm like breaking a chicken’s wing.

No reinforced joints or shock-absorbing bones could withstand powerful reverse-angle pressure.

Murphy’s right hand was twisted around his neck and snapped against the back of his head, using his own neck as leverage to break it.

After that, Cedric released Murphy, allowing him to turn around. He used Murphy’s own rifle to blow off one of his legs.

Finally, he dropped the rifle and ignored Murphy’s screams, pressing his head against Andri’s decomposing body.

"You want to watch? Then watch closely, you bastard, see how Andri died because of you..."

"Look!"
